Students in Milwaukee and Madison are getting out the vote today, according to early reports.

UW-Madison officials said in a press release this afternoon student participation in the election "has largely gone smoothly with upswings during breaks between classes and at lunchtime." The university reported it had issued 3,332 free voter ID cards as of 3:15 p.m. that students could use at the polls. That included more than 750 today.
